According to LDA spokesman, the authority had started preliminary proceedings for lands’ acquisition, which are to be sold later through an open auction in order to execute development works in the housing schemes. The spokesman informed the media that the developers of these schemes had failed to complete development work in these colonies despite passage of the specified period given to them for this purpose.

He said the LDA had “intimidated” the general public and developers of these schemes to file their respective objections in this regard, in the interest of justice. It also asked them to inform the authorities about any plot transactions they had conducted in the housing schemes. “The objections must reach the LDA metropolitan planning director’s office within the next 15 days,” he added.
